the perithecia ; they are efEete, and in some cases are tilled with 

 brown hyphae, suggestive of Diplodia. 



Another part of Thwaites 307, in Herb. Kew, was also named 

 by Berkeley, without publication. As, however, the specific 

 name is indecipherable, Cooke did not " re -describe "it. 



258.— Tryblidiella Leprieurii (Mont.) Sacc. 



This was recorded for Ceylon by Berkeley and Broome in 

 Fungi of Ceylon, No. 1148, as Angelina Leprieurii Mont., from 

 Thwaites 6, 362, and 1066. They gave the spores as 30-37-5 

 X 12*5 [A, and stated that they varied in size. 



In " Mycetum in itinere Borneensi lectorum," Cesati 

 described Angelina Beccariana Ces., collected in Ceylon by 

 Beccari. The spores were said to be 12-15 X 5-6, but as 

 Cesati's unit is 2 [x, this measurement is 24-30 X 10-12 \).. 



Thwaites 362 in Herb. Peradeniya has spores 20-30 X 8-9 [>.. 

 Cesati's specimen of Tryblidiella Beccariana (Ces.) Sacc, in 

 Herb. Kew, has spores 30-34 x 9-12 ^. Recent collections of 

 Tryblidiella include gatherings with spores 32-34 X 9-11 i^, 

 24-30 X 8-10 [L, and 20-24 x 6-8 \).. These appear to be all 

 the same species, and it is not possible to separate T. Beccariana 

 on spore dimensions. 



The asci of the small-spored form measured 160 X 9 [jl ; in 

 other forms they reach 260 X 12 [x. The disc is usually 

 reddish-brown to olive, but in one gathering it was greenish- 

 yellow. 



259.— Aulographum intricatum B. & Br. 



Thwaites 1226, on Pandanus, was described by Berkeley 

 and Broome as " Ailographum intricatkim B. & Br. Lirellis 

 intricatis reticulatis, in maculis orbicularibus serius con- 

 fluentibus dispositis." It has apparently escaped revision. 



The leaf bears blackish cloudy patches, formed by some- 

 what distant, closely adherent, repent hyphse. The perithecia 

 are borne on these patches, and are rather crowded, super- 

 ficial, linear, straight or slightly flexuose, sometimes forked 

 towards one end, up to 1-5 mm. long, 0*2 mm. broad, sub- 

 triangular in section, with the apex subacute and the sides 

 vertically ridged.
